I have an HTC u11 that has not been right since Mexico Trip. I have replaced it with a note 9 hoping that the new phone would solve the issue. Somehow while in Mexico random country codes were added to my contacts. Not a big deal except it separates the information for all my contacts. I now have multiple contacts streams in texting apps. I have tried both stock (HTC) Google, and Textra, all the same issue. Call history, not right and it has transferred. Is there a way or tool to clean up the data on my contacts. I think most the contacts affected are in an exchange account, but I have not found the issues in outlook, so again confused.
I keep tons of info in texts messages and some of it isn't showing up on new phone as a result. Any ideas. I am NOT a developer. Just a user that needs help. Thanks for all the articles that make me look much smarter than I am when I help people fix there phone issues.
Thanks!

Well I am an Android migrant as of last week and I am loving the overall experience, especially the large community of savvy developers.
Now regarding Sense and it's pesky contact book sync issues.
First issue is, I don't want any of my Google contacts syncing with my phonebook or any part of my phone for that matter as I don't maintain that address book. Second of all when I pull up the Phone application the entire list is populated with every one of my Facebook friends who has ever entered a contact number (including 1800suckmyballs).
I am looking for a solution to remedy this situation but also still be able to associate individual contacts with a Facebook profile. Anyone out there that knows the ins-and-outs of Sense better? Can you give me a hand?
Regards, Dom
Has anyone found a way to import SMS messages into Phone 7 yet? I'm looking at moving from Android over to Phone 7 and I've got a few years worth as I was able to migrate them from my WinMo 6.x phone to Android when I made that change. If it can be avoided, I don't want to lose all my messages in the switch over to Phone 7.
there is no way currently to import sms or back them up either.
Not sure why you would want years of sms's.
I was afraid you'd say that.
honestly, I'm a recovering pack-rat so by nature I keep things until they get in my way. It has been handy though, I've dug a few alternate phone numbers and addresses out of the older messages a few times. This isn't a deal breaker for me, just not my ideal.
Thanks again for the info.
I can give you a pretty good reason - I need mine as proof against my psycho ex girlfriend. How's that for reason? I guess people have their reasons when they ask, don't you?

then keep the phone with them on it. And if you really need them for "proof", the police can get them from the carrier.
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
I take it that there is no way to transfer sms from one wp7 to another then?
I have a limited number of texts that I have managed to keep on the sim over the years for sentimental reasons, eg, from now deceased loved ones.
I have never understood why OFFICE has never integrated SMS, allowing you to use plug ins to send and store SMS . They have facebook etc connectors.
I thought all sms, pics, contacts etc could be synced with your email address and stored using microsoft myphone?

Hi Kappo
The OP wants to get the SMS's off his current Android phone and import them into his WP7 but has no way to get the messages into MyPhone
Im not sure if this has been asked and answered... My search of the nexus s forum didnt turn up much...
In google voice (where i've been receiving all of my voice and text messages) the same contact has multiple threads. It seems like each days text messages go into a new thread by default or something. Bottom line, to look at a previous day's messages i have to back out of the current days message thead and scroll down (through other contact's duplicated threads) and open the same contacts messages from a previous day.
In the default android messaging app all texts to a single contact are grouped together. google voice on the other hand makes going back through texts a pain. is there any way to make google voice text groupings behave like the stock android app?
sorry to reply to my own question.... >100 views, anyone have any ideas? is anyone with sprint even experiencing the same issue?
Yes, I am experiencing the same issue on my Nexus S on Sprint.

That's how they are grouped at voice.google.com too so I don't believe it's an app or a Sprint issue.
EDIT: Seems like it was designed that way, the reasons for which aren't clear:

I noticed the same thing. It gets kind of annoying but I just archive the old ones in case I need to go back for something. Would be nice to have one per person but perhaps it's to limit size?
Any resolution to this? I have gvoice on my HTC vision and it still seems to be creating multiple threads for the same contact (not 100% of the time, but often)
HELP just jumped back to Samsung after a decade away.
The Contacts NOTES 1000 character limit is killing me.
I have 5000+ and 20 years of contact info stored away and the App is deleting all character above 1000 when a contact is edited.
This then syncs to my google and outlook databases causing havoc and destruction.
I absolutely must edit from the phone in real time to keep the data fresh.
Any suggestions or ideas?? Any replacement app or workaround suggested??
I have had HTC-8, Asus, Motorola V3 in the intervening years in all cases the stock contacts list did not have this limit.
I expect I would need up to 4000 or 5000 Chr to keep the current data I have though in 90% of cases it is just 10-20 words only in that field.
Found replacement app
I am still a bit confused at the difference between Phone and Contacts App on S7 but found that it is possible to add other dialer contact options. Ready Contacts and Dialer App can directly replace both phone and Contacts App- can be set as default and does not Trim long text notes in the contact.
The free app is OK you need to spend a few bucks to get T9 DIALING. While doing this is replaced the sms app with Googles Messenger and the TouchWiz with Google Now launcher and have a much more user friendly interface.
Several sites claim that it is possible to install Google stand alone dialer but my playstore says it is not compatible with my Android v6.0.1 phone firmware
It is extremely frustrating to permanently lose data from contacts without warning.
Currently using:
Ready Contacts + Dialer
Ready Communication
I thought this had fixed the issue as all notes were visible. However on EDIT the problem returned.
I am trialing now another addon app:
Contact Editor Free
Marten Gajda
This weird program jumps in when the edit button is pushed and seems to take care of the problem.
Kind of scary.
This is a very frustrating issue. It is very hard to believe that this "flagship" device has a bug like this after so many years. It is very easy to go over 1000 Character when updating information in contacts.
Would appreciate any other users feedback on solutions that have worked for them
Hello everyone,
I'll start by saying that I haven't lost my whatsapp chats since I began using it in 2010.
Until last update I had all my chats from 2010 in my "Chats" tab in the app.
Today, I realized that my list is a hell lot shorter than it used to be and that all the chats that ended before July 2015 are gone (I would say probably 150 chats).
If I use the search option and search for an old chat contact's name I find him under "Other contacts" and not under "Chats", BUT if I enter the chat I CAN see all the history with him. This seems pretty weird.
I've looked at the database file and it has the same size as it used to have and considering that I can see the history of the chats if I search manually means they haven't been deleted, just cleared from the Chats tab.
Maybe Whatsapp are trying to speed up loading time for the main activity?
Am I the only one who has this issue?
Is it an issue of the current version only?
I'm a freak for nostalgic things and it scares me a lil' but to lose my chats.
I have an international Exynos galaxy s8 plus model.
Whatsapp version 2.17.323
Thanks in advance and have a great day!
No one?
Hello!
It seems like I've finally found someone with the same problem as me and I'm not an isolated case.
Firstly, I'm sorry if you do not understand something I say, English is not my native language.
So, I noticed this a couple of days ago, I had over a hundred conversations and I have the habit of archive them through the "Archive all chats" option. The last time I used this option, I noticed that it listed only 64 conversations. I'm pretty sure I did not delete any conversation, and as you said, the size of my database also remains the same as before.
Curiously, I can only find the old conversations if I search for the contact's name or part of the conversation, but in the archived list these do not appear.
I also noticed that if I enter through the WhatsApp Web, these conversations do not appear as in the phone, they appear empty.
I was thinking about contacting WhatsApp support, because I'm afraid that if I reinstall I'll lose the conversations.
Hello, glad to know I'm not alone. Someone in another forum had the same issue and just installed an old apk from august.
I'm not sure if they did that intentionally or by mistake, so I tried to contact whatsapp support team. they keep giving me generic answers on how to add contacts to whatsapp and how to backup data to drive lol.. They don't even read it.
Waiting for an app update. If this doesn't solve this I'll go back to an old version myself.
Same thing happens with the Whatsapp Web like you by the way.
